  1. Always aspired to become a chainsaw charlie , ho hum , bit late in life now ....
  2. We took down a massive , I think Sycamore , ( so long ago ) right next to the church in Nutborne village . Luckily there was a dissused industrial plot to the rear . There was me and my mate Steve ( climber ) Crane and banks man . The biggest lump was just short of 4T on the crane . Can't remember what it cost but used the crane to put Steve in the tree and was all down in a day . Took another day to cart all the fire wood away !
  3. That's a bit " over stood "
  4. They are like confetti round here .
  5. He would do it with his mouth .

    Hedgecutters

    Both my cutters are Husqvarna ( surprise , surprise ) Single sided and long reach . They seem to run faster than others . We were cutting Yew hedges for a French pharmaceutical company that make cancer drugs from the cuttings and my mate said my cutter sounded like a saw . I have had no problems with either tools .
  7. Yep . As opposed to carrots ?
  8. They used a big McCullough 10-10 engine in caret racing also .
  9. I like the hedgehog too ( not that I don't like the others ) Its just that recently I have found 2 skinned hedgehogs who have fallen to the local Badgers .
  10. And that is going to be a bottomless pit for a few months I bet ........
  11. Steve . Whilst being on Arbtalk and waiting for my dinner to cook I usually drink some beer . Tonight I have drunk a little more than usual and I find I can't read the text too well in most of the posts . Should I clear my cookies or something ? ?
  12. I think with these big capacity , " legendary " saws it was all about the torque . Not much revs but grunt in spades . Nowadays modern saw have lots of top end revs combined with a reasonable amount of torque . Maybe not like the old ones but not far off . This makes them out perform to a degree and what you remember as the king of the hill just aint no more .
  13. My wood burner has no grate , be it raised or , on the floor of the fire box . The floor of the fire box is a solid vermiculite board .
  14. That's a good long breath you held there or was that some cleaver editing ! ?
  15. I thought garlic bread was the future ?

    Sharpening

    Wesley Snipes can't file for shit Steve . That's the problem . ?
  17. When you say " threads " I assume you mean it strips the thread as opposed to putting one on it . I was wondering if this could be down to vibration . Have you checked to see if all your AV mounts are ok ?
